Project Management Office

What is the PMO?

Project Management Office, often described as „PMO“, is a company’s department consisting of specialists, whose goal is to unify, implement and continually improve practices of project management inside the company. PMO does not interfere into daily activities of project management (that is the responsibility of the project manager), PMO represents the consulting centre or centre of best practices for all the company’s project managers. It obtains its consulting centre status by providing support, unified rules, processes and documentation for new and ongoing projects, which leads to better transparency and friction elimination in the company’s projects.
